Discussion Prompts: Starting the Conversation

ACCESS FULL RESOURCE
Immediately after the film, you may want to give people a few quiet moments to reflect on what they have seen or pose a general question (examples below) and give people some time to themselves to jot down or think about their answers before opening the discussion:
Why do you think the film is titled On Her Shoulders?
What did you learn from this film? Did you gain new insight?
Describe a moment or scene in the film that you found particularly disturbing or moving. What was it about that scene that was especially compelling for you?
Did anything in the film surprise you? Was anything familiar?
If you could ask anyone in the film a single question, whom would you ask and what would you want to know?
